VLT 5001-5062, 525 - 600 V do not comply with EMC or Low Voltage Directives.
IP54 units are not intended for direct outdoor installation. The IP54 rating does not relate to other
exposures as sun, icing, wind blown driving rain. Under such circumstances Danfoss recommends to
install the units in an enclosure designed for these environmental conditions. Alternatively, an installation
at minimum 0.5 m above surface and covered by a shed is recommended

VLT 5000 Series protection:
• Electronic motor thermal protection against overload.
• Temperature monitoring of heat-sink ensures that the frequency converter cuts out if the temperature reaches 90°C
for IP 00, IP 20 and Nema 1. For IP 54, the cut-out temperature is 80°C. An overtemperature can only be reset when
the temperature of the heat-sink has fallen below 60°C.
For the units mentioned below, the limits are as follows:
- VLT 5122, 380-500 V, cuts out at 75°C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60°C.
- VLT 5352-5552, 380-500 V, cut out at 85°C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60°C.
• The frequency converter is protected against short-circuiting on motor terminals U, V, W.
• The frequency converter is protected against earth fault on motor terminals U, V, W.
• Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the frequency converter cuts out if the intermediate circuit voltage becomes
too high or too low.
• If a motor phase is missing, the frequency converter cuts out, see parameter 234 Motor phase monitor.
• If there is a mains fault, the frequency converter is able to carry out a controlled decelleration.
• If a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter will cut out when a load is placed on the motor.

in the list must be observed to avoid serious damage
or injury, especially when installing large units.
The frequency converter must be installed vertically.
The frequency converter is cooled by means of air

circulation. For the unit to be able to release its cooling
air, the minimum distance over and below the unit
must be as shown in the illustration below.
To protect the unit from overheating, it must be
ensured that the ambient temperature does not rise

relevant, see Derating for ambient temperature.
The service life of the frequency converter will
be reduced if derating for ambient temperature
is not taken into account.

carried out and what to be done if in doubt. Do not use twisted cable ends (pigtails), since these
increase the screen impedance at high frequencies.
Protection with respect to earth potential

between PLC and VLT
If the earth potential between the frequency converter
and the PLC (etc.) is different, electric noise may
occur that will disturb the whole system. This
problem can be solved by fitting an equalising cable,
to be placed next to the control cable. Minimum
cable cross-section: 16 mm 2.
For 50/60 Hz earth loops

If very long control cables are used, 50/60 Hz earth
loops may occur. This problem can be solved by
connecting one end of the screen to earth via a
100nF capacitor (keeping leads short).
Cables for serial communication

Low-frequency noise currents between two frequency
converters can be eliminated by connecting one end of
the screen to terminal 61. This terminal is connected

to earth via an internal RC link. It is recommended
to use twisted-pair cables to reduce the differential
mode interference between the conductors.

■ RFI switch
Mains supply isolated from earth: Position of RFI switches
If the frequency converter is supplied from an isolated
mains source ( IT mains) or TT/TN-S mains with
grounded leg, the RFI switch is recommended to
be turned off (OFF)1). For further reference, see
IEC 364-3. In case optimum EMC performance is
needed, parallel motors are connected or the motor
cable length is above 25 m, it is recommended
to set the switch in ON position.
In OFF position, the internal RFI capacities (filter
capacitors) between the chassis and the intermediate
circuit are cut off to avoid damage to the intermediate
circuit and to reduce the earth capacity currents
(according to IEC 61800-3).
Please also refer to the application note VLT on
IT mains, MN.90.CX.02. It is important to use
isolation monitors that are capable for use together
with power electronics (IEC 61557-8). Bookstyle IP 20

Telegram length (LGE)

The telegram length is the number of data bytes plus
the address byte ADR plus the data control byte BCC.
When the first byte (02H) has been received:
The length of telegrams with 4 data bytes is:
BCS = BCC EXOR "first byte"
LGE = 4 + 1 + 1 = 6 bytes
(EXOR = exclusive-or)
The length of telegrams with 12 data bytes is:
LGE = 12 + 1 + 1 = 14 bytes BCS = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (00 H)
The length of telegrams containing texts is 10+n bytes. EXOR
10 represents the fixed characters, while the ’n’ is 1. byte = 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 (02H)

conversion index equals "0".
Example:
A parameter has a "unit index" of 9 and a "conversion
index" of 2. The raw (integer) value read is 23. This
means that we have a parameter of the unit "Power"
and the raw value should be multiplied by 10 to the

The Proportional gain, Integration time and
Differentiation time of the process controller are set
in individual parameters, and the setting ranges are
adapted to process control requirements.
As in speed control, it is possible to limit the influence

of the differentiator in relation to swift changes in the
error between the reference and the feedback signal.
Also available is a lowpass filter for the process

controller. This can be set to remove a much
greater share of the feedback signal oscillations
than the lowpass filter of the speed controller
does. This is because most fans and pump
applications react relatively slowly, which is why
it can be an advantage to feed as stable a signal
as possible to the process controller.
The parameters that are specific to the process

controller are parameters 437 to 444.
Setting of torque controller (open loop):

This control is selected if Torque control, open loop
has been selected in 100 Configuration.
When this mode has been selected, the reference
will use the Nm unit.
Control is in the form of a PI that requires no
feedback, since the torque is calculated on the
basis of the current measurement of VLT 5000. The
proportional gain is set as a percentage in parameter
433 Torque proportional gain and the integration
time is set in parameter 434 Torque integration time.
However, both these have been set at the works
and normally require no modification.

■ PID for process control

The following is an example of a process controller In a ventilation system, the temperature is to be settable
used in a ventilation system. from - 5 - 35°C with a potentiometer of 0-10 Volt. The
set temperature must be kept constant, for which
purpose the integrated process controller is to be used.
The control is of the inverse type, which means that
when the temperature increases, the ventilation speed
is increased as well, so as to generate more air. When
the temperature drops, the speed is reduced.
The transmitter used is a temperature sensor with
a working range of -10-40°C, 4-20 mA.

■ PID for speed control

Below are given a couple of examples of programming
of VLT 5000 PID speed control.
175ZA451.10
A conveyor belt that carries heavy items must be

maintained at a regular speed, which is set by means of
a potentiometer within the range of 0-1500 rpm, 0-10
Volts. The speed selected must be kept constant and
the integrated PID speed controller is to be applied.
This is a case of normal control, which means
that when the load increases, the power supplied
to the conveyor belt motor increases in order to
keep the speed constant. Correspondingly, when
the load falls, the power is reduced.
The feedback used is an encoder with a resolution
of 1024 pulses/rev. push-pull.

Optimisation of the torque controller

The basic settings have now been made and
the factory setting has been optimised for most
processes. It is rarely necessary to optimize the
torque proportional gain in parameter 433 and the
torque integration time in parameter 434.
In the cases where the factory setting has to be

changed, it is recommended to change this setting
by a maximum factor of +/- 2.
Feedback
The feedback signal is an estimated torque, calculated
by the VLT frequency converter on the basis of
the current values measured.
Reference
The reference is always in Nm.
A minimum and a maximum reference can be set (204

therefore be installed in environments
with airborne liquids, particles or gases
capable of affecting and damaging the electronic
components. Failure to take the necessary protective
measures increases the risk of stoppages, thus
reducing the life of the frequency converter.
Liquids can be carried through the air and condense

in the frequency converter. In addition to this,
liquids may cause corrosion of components and
metal parts. Steam, oil and salt water may cause
corrosion of components and metal parts. In such
environments, equipment with enclosure rating IP 54 is
recommended. As an extra protection, coated printet
circuit boads can be orded as an option.
Airborne Particles such as dust particles may cause

mechanical, electrical or thermal failure in the frequency
converter. A typical indicator of excessive levels of
airborne particles is dust particles around the frequency
converter fan. In very dusty environments, equipment
with enclosure rating IP 54 or a cabinet for IP 00/IP
20/Nema 1 equipment is recommended.
In environments with high temperatures and humidity,

corrosive gases such as sulphur, nitrogen and chlorine
compounds will cause chemical processes on the
frequency converter components.
Such chemical reactions will rapidly affect and damage

the electronic components. In such environments,
it is recommended that equipment is mounted in a
cabinet with fresh air ventilation, keeping aggressive
gases away from the frequency converter.
An extra protection in such areas a conformal coating
of the printed ircuit boards can be ordered as an option.
NB!:
Mounting frequency converters in aggressive
environments will increase the risk of
stoppages and furthermore considerably
reduce the life of the converter.
Before the installation of the frequency converter, the

ambient air should be checked for liquids, particles
and gases. This may be done by observing existing
installations in this environment. Typical indicators
of harmful airborne liquids are water or oil on metal
parts, or corrosion of metal parts.

as a complex component forming part of a larger
appliance, system or installation. It must be noted
that the responsibility for the final EMC properties
of the appliance, system or installation rests with
